Live: New Hampshire Republican Presidential Debate

Tonight, we are broadcasting the New Hampshire Republican Primary Debate live from the Dana Center. Watch the live stream right here, join in on the live discussion with Rev. Dale S. Kuehne, Ph.D., and interact with us.

Question to Mr Romney:
Mr Gingrich has not only called you a liar, but has also said that you are not considered a true conservative within the Rebublican Party. Given this, how can you reconcile your aspirations while representing an organization who does not truly embrace everything that the soul of Mitt Romney stands for?

Can someone please ask the candidates to explain their views on the UN, considering that we foot a majority of the bill for generally non-US friendly agendas, and also address the issue of national sovereignty?
Thank you.

It's unfortunate that the criteria set for inclusion in the debate directly reflects the amount of money one has raised. In the current political funding framework, poll results are too often proportionally linked to spending. What happened to a debate being about ideas and solutions? Even the ones that the political parties don't want aired! We are left with a field of mannequins (with different hair styles) that will be vying for the title of "real conservative". Not a debate I am interested in! Once again we have a debate which serves the interest of the party (and the entertainment industry) not the people. The exclusion of candidates like Gov. Roemer, who is a credible candidate with real poll numbers is inexcusable. St. Anselm College has failed the people of New Hampshire by abdicating their responsibility to independence and jumping into bed with the party leadership and the self serving interests of the media. Shame on you!

If I had been able to ask a question to Ron Paul at the UNH event that attended last night, I would have said:

“Dr. Paul, I'm a single issue voter, but on the issue that effects many others like foreign wars, protecting our liberty, following the Constitution, and having a strong and sustainable economy — that single causal issue of mine, and yours, that effects all these things is being anti-Empire, and saving America from its slide into Empire.

My concern on the single issue of being “Against Empire” is that you are the only candidate of either party who dares to speak out about the disguised corporate/financial/militarist Empire that is consuming our country.

I'll certainly vote for you since you are the only anti-Empire candidate, but can you explain why none of the other candidates ever dares to even whisper about this most important issue of Empire killing our country and our Liberties?

BTW, Ron I shouted this question to Mitt Romney in Portsmouth last week, and he claimed not to know anything about an Empire danger, or even know what a disguised/Vichy Empire was all about”

Best luck and love to Occupy Empire.

Question to all the candidates: President Obama has unveiled what he calls cuts to our military spending – Are these real cuts, or budget gimmickry? Does this "Change in direction" make us less safe in your opinion?

I fear Mitt Romney would say anything he thinks will win the election and just like our current president do nothing but sign bills that promote special interests and destroys personal liberties.

It seems like no one is asking Ron Paul questions. You all really scared of this man. In his first day in office he will put many government workers on unemployment.

How would you get a company to stay or move back to the US to create more jobs?

What are the plans of each candidate to eliminate the TSA so that Americans have their rights to travel restored?

They are still ignoring Ron Paul. To me this panel is biased and it's so obvious I won't even trust these NewsCasters anymore.

Diane Sawyer is so biased and her attitude pathetic. "lets get off the constitution discussion and on to things more close to home for most people". Bitch, what's more close to home than having the 4th amendment removed, your privacy attacked, and someone without a warrant kicking your door in, or having you remove your clothes at an airport?"

Wasn't Romney pro military expansion? Tonight he almost agrees with Dr Paul.

what comment during the debates will actually get you votes? there's a lotta noise but we're looking for a coherent vision of the way forward. Ron Paul has the vision but he has trouble summarizing it as a sound bite. the american people are going to have to make up the difference between Ron Paul and the "requirement" that a presidential candidate has to fulfill the media's requirement for a SOUND BITE!!!
